Journal: In last week's letter I made a statement which is misleading. You do not have to prove yourself innocent in any court. It is up to the State of Indiana through its law enforcement officers and prosecuting attorney to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that you are guilty as charged in the sworn affidavit. Robert S. MeCullough Justice of the Peace Turkey Creek Twp. Editor, Journal: Now that the water safety program is off to a good start with reference to the swimming instructions, we must now begin an all out effort to promote education in operation and navigation of water craft. The past week has been very encouraging tn that it was noted that the operators are showing increased knowledge of the Boating Laws and greater respect for the rights of others. Starting on the date of 21 and 22 June—2B and 29 June, the writer will be at the Syracuse municipal pier between the hours of 1:00 and 2:30 p.m. for the purpose of giving navigation instructions and any questions boat operators may wish to ask about the Indiana Boating Laws.
